Happily Ever After Sex Magick

You will need a book with erotic love stories and your lover. Some books that will stir your erotic desires and passion are Greenfire: Making Love with the Goddess and Moonflower; Dreaming with the Goddess are both filled with sexy pagan stories.

When you retire for the evening, select an erotic story to read together with your lover. Open the book to the page you desire, and say:

And we made love happily ever after, Blessed be!

Enjoy the story and the romantic interlude that is sure to follow. A variation on this spell is to write the erotic story for your lover and tell him or her exactly how you would like to make love. Include what you will be wearing and what your lover will be wearing. Put the clothes on the bed with the story you write for your lover to discover, light a few candles and do what comes naturally. You will love the results!

Dream Creation Spell

Dream Creation Spell
Some innovative approaches to dreams include those of Frederic “Fritz” Perls, founder of Gestalt therapy, who felt that every character and object in a dream represents some facet of the dream’s life, and Medard Boss, who saw the dream as a mirror or reflection in a metaphorical sense of what is happening in the dreamer’s life.
After dark, think about a recent dream that sticks in your mind. Now create something from that dream. Allow it to inspire a creation such as a collage, painting, poem, song, woodworking, sewing project, flower garden, dances, new business, a dream vacation, and so forth. All of these creative representations of your dreams are empowering ways of connecting with your dream self. Bless your dream creation by saying:
Goddess and God, please bless my dream creation
May your divine blessings and guidance empower me
So be it! Blessed be!

Cyclone Clearing Spell

Cyclone Clearing Spell

Cast this spell to clear the negativity out of your home, as well as encourage positive energies into your space.

At midnight, light a sage smudge stick and smudge your home thoroughly. Use a fireproof bowl or pan to catch any burning ash that may drop from the smudge stick. Now, fully extinguish the smudge. Take a few minutes and merge with the divine. In your mind’s eye imagine a cyclone spinning counterclockwise, awash with cobalt blue energy, hovering above you. Build the cyclone up with your intention and deep breathing. Send the cyclone around your home, in a counterclockwise direction, to clear out any negative, disruptive, or chaotic energies. Actually see the cyclone pulling the negativity up and out of your home. As you do this, chant loudly:

“Negative energies get out, begone now and forevermore.”

Imagine the cyclone diving beneath your home and pulling any negativity out from that area. Once you have cleared out the negative energy, see the cyclone spinning up and out of your home and into the night sky. Repeat this process three times.

When you are done, merge with the God and Goddess. Then spin slowly in a clockwise circle and imagine bright white light shooting out from your outstretched palms and filling your home with its divine power. Say nine times:

“May the divine power of love, hope and peace fill my home, now and forevermore. So be it! Blessed be!”

Blast from the Past, Our Favorite Familiar Of The Day

Our Favorite Familiar of the Day

Name: Cassidy
 Age: One year old
Gender: Female
 Kind: Domestic short hair
Home: Bayside, New York, USA
I adopted Cassidy from the North Shore Animal League in December 2015. I had just lost my 20-year-old cat, Ginger, the week before. I was not ready for another cat, but a week later my niece, Amanda, convinced me to go look for another cat. There was so many beautiful cats there, I did not know which one to pick. Then my niece saw Cassidy (that is what North Shore named her) and said, “Aunt Elaine, that’s the one, that’s the one.” And the rest is history.

Cassidy has a bubbly personality. Her personality matches her multi-faceted colors. She does have one trick that floored me. Turns out I can’t do anything on my kitchen table without Cassidy getting involved. So this first time I decided to put her in my pantry while I opened my mail. She was wearing a collar with a bell on it at the time. So I closed the door and proceeded to open my mail. A few seconds later, I heard ding-a-ling-a-ling. There was Cassidy standing there in the room. So I then thought I didn’t close the door hard enough and she pushed it open. So I put her in again. Two seconds later the same thing, there she was out of the room. So I then thought she got out before I could close the door. So for a third time I did it. There she was again two seconds later, defiantly looking at me.

I was about to pack Cassidy’s bags and bring her to Vegas as “The Cat who goes through Walls.” So this time I called my sister downstairs to watch, because I wanted her to witness this. I put Cassidy in the room and watched. Turns out there is a hole in the wall between the two rooms and that is how she was getting through. I have been living in that house since 1977 and did not know about this hole in the wall. How did she know?

Cassidy loves to play with man-made toys like tin foil rolled up in a ball and empty face soap boxes! She also likes to watch the birds outside from behind my storm door. She is my little Rascal and I love her to death and hoping to have her with me 20 years like I had with Ginger.

Astronomy Picture of the Day – The Keyhole in the Carina Nebula

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2016 August 14

The Keyhole in the Carina Nebula

Explanation: The dark dusty Keyhole Nebula gets its name from its unusual shape. The looping Keyhole, in this featured classic image by the Hubble Space Telescope, is a smaller region inside the larger Carina Nebula. Dramatic dark dust knots and complex features are sculpted by the winds and radiation of the Carina Nebula’s many massive and energetic stars. In particular, the shape of the dust cloud on the upper left of the Keyhole Nebula may stimulate the human imagination to appear similar to, for example, a superhero flying through a cloud, arm up, with a saved person in tow below. The region lies about 7,500 light-years away in planet Earth’s southern sky. The Keyhole Nebula was created by the dying star Eta Carina , out of the frame, which is prone to violent outbursts during its final centuries.

Earth Sky News for August 14th: Moon at southernmost point

Moon at southernmost point on August 14

By

On August 14, 2016, the moon reaches its southernmost point for the month at 13:05 Universal Time. At this moment, the moon resides at a declination of 18.481o south of the celestial equator – a projection of the Earth’s equator into outer space. Declination on the sky’s dome is the equivalent of latitude here on Earth.

At its southernmost point on August 14, the moon stands at zenith (straight overhead) at 18o 29’ south latitude and 115o 16’ east longitude. That’s about 3o of latitude to the north of Onslow, Western Australia. Check it out on your globe.

The moon’s southernmost point in its monthly cycle is sometimes called a southern lunar standstill. In contrast, the sun at its southernmost point for the year is called the southern solstice.

The sun’s solstice declination remains fairly constant, residing at nearly 23.4o south of the celestial equator at each December solstice. However, the moon’s monthly southern standstills vary by about 10o (from 18.5o to 28.5o to 18.5o) in cycles of 18.6 years.

This year, in 2016, the moon’s monthly southern standstills don’t vary much from a declination of 18.5o south of the celestial equator. Some 9 years from now, in 2025, the monthly southern standstills will display a maximum declination of around 28.5o. Then 18 years from now, in 2034, the monthly southern standstills will again exhibit the minimum declination of 18.5o.

Tonight’s waxing gibbous moon appears low in the Northern Hemisphere sky, much like the winter sun, but in the Southern Hemisphere, the moon shines way up high, much like the sun in summer.
